Handmade & Mass Production

In our discussion, Laura brought up a point that intrigued me.

If we buy handmade individual clothes are we in fact buying the designers individuality and creativity? Rather if we continue buying mass produced clothes and customise them ourselves to suit our individuality then does that make them truly individual?

OR does the way we put handmade clothes together reflect the want to express individuality.

As a designer I have a deep interest in producing garments that are one off, limited edition.
As Steve mentioned, it gets boring when you are making one particular dress 10 times.
